Spain vs. Tunisia: Time, Live Stream and TV Schedule

Rory MarsdenJun 8, 2018

Spain endured a miserable campaign at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. They went to the Brazil tournament as the champions but ended up being knocked out in the group stage. 

After a process of rebuilding, though, Julen Lopetegui's side head to this summer's World Cup in Russia with a genuine chance of going deep.

They face their final warm-up game against Tunisia in Krasnodar, Russia, on Saturday and have the chance to head into the tournament on the back of a 20-match unbeaten streak.

Spain have not lost a match since being downed 2-0 by Italy in the round of 16 at UEFA Euro 2016.

However, they have drawn three of their past four matches—against Russia (3-3), Germany (1-1) and, most recently, Switzerland (1-1).

Lopetegui will be eager for his side to claim a comfortable victory against Tunisia to set them up for their tough Group B opener against European champions Portugal on June 15.

That clash will likely decide who finishes top of Group B and theoretically gets an easier fixture in the round of 16.

As such, Spain can ill afford to make a sluggish start to the tournament and will need to hit the ground running. That makes Saturday's final warm-up game crucial.

La Roja boast one of the best squads at the 2018 World Cup, with quality and depth throughout. 

The same cannot be said of Tunisia. Their most notable star is Wahbi Khazri, who netted nine Ligue 1 goals for Rennes in 2017-18 while on loan from Sunderland.

But while the north African side may lack in star quality, they are far from dreadful and are ranked 21st in the world by FIFA, one spot below Croatia.

Tunisia's opening match of the World Cup is against England in Group G on June 18, so Three Lions fans are sure to be eager to see how they fare against Spain.

In all likelihood, Tunisia will set up against Spain as they plan to do against England and look to frustrate Lopetegui's men and grab a goal on the break.

There is little doubt Spain will dominate the possession on Saturday, and they have more than enough quality to put away Tunisia comfortably.
